concrete overlay
Posted by jeff on October 15, 2006
I would like to mix my own stampable concrete overlay. What would you recomend as far as mixtures?
It is difficult to give you exact quantities without more information. However, for an overlay I would start with a cement factor of 500 – 600 lbs per cu. Yd (depending on psi requirements). I would use a w/c of .40 - .45 and I would use a 3/8 inch top size coarse aggregate. This is only a starting point. After mixing (a trial batch is recommended) look at the results and make whatever adjustments are necessary.
I would like to give you more help but with the limited information I can only give you a starting point.
